Chapter 5 The Best Thing She Had Done

• "Is there any child who naturally isn't close to their own mother? I think you don't care about Joey!"
• Fred's voice was icy cold, "If your relationship with Joey doesn't improve after the engagement, I'll find him a mother he feels comfortable with!"
• Five years ago, he searched all over the world for the woman from that day, and finally, Marie Sherwood appeared out of nowhere with a child.
• Fred thought he would finally get what he wanted, but he found that Marie was completely different from what he had imagined.
• Hypocritical, selfish, and greedy. She is two-faced!
• If it wasn't for the paternity test confirming Joey was his child, he would have wanted to sever ties with this woman.
• Hearing Fred's words, Marie's heart tightened.
• It seemed that she hadn't been strict enough with the poor kid born to Mia Sherwood, which resulted in him being distant. Now, she needed to properly "educate" Joey.
• Marie squeezed out two tears and explained pitifully, "Fred, you have misunderstood me. Joey is my child. I went through a tough delivery when I had him. I love him more than anything. How could I not care about him … "
• However, Fred didn't want to listen and walked out directly.
• Marie hurriedly followed suit.
• ...
• Hudson Yards.
• Mia Sherwood unlocked the door with her fingerprint and entered with the two children.
• The Edwards had purchased this house for her. The furniture, appliances, and decoration were all tailored to Mia's and the two children's preferences.
• Mia couldn't refuse the Edwards' kind intentions, so she could only settle here.
• After unpacking, Mia opened the refrigerator and found it stocked with fresh ingredients. She wanted to cook a delicious dinner for the children.
• "Darlings, how about we have a hot pot for dinner?"
• "I'm in!" Caspar rolled up his sleeves and was ready to help. "Mom, let me wash the veggies! You can rest over there."
• Carol also thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Mia. "Mom, sit down and drink. I'll help my brother!"
• "Thank you, my two little darlings!" Mia's face was filled with a smile. At this moment, she truly felt like the happiest person in the world.
• These two children had a talent for the kitchen and were exceptionally skilled at cooking. Even when they were abroad, they could take care of themselves very well.
• Caspar had a natural talent for cooking. He was young, but he could cook almost any dish.
• Meanwhile, Carol followed her brother like his shadow.
• Bringing these two considerate little angels into the world was the best thing Mia had ever done.
• Now, she just wanted to find the child who was taken away by Marie as soon as possible. Once they were all together, their days would definitely be happier.
• After dinner, Mia called her older brother, William Edwards.
• "William, we have arrived in Neuss. Caspar and Carol just finished their meal."
• "Okay, as long as you arrive safely," William said. "I've emailed you all the information I have on the Sherwoods over the years."
• "Okay. Thank you, William."
• "Don't be so polite with me. If there is anything you can't handle on your own, give me a call. The Edwards are always ready to help you conquer the Sherwoods!"
• Hearing William's words, Mia felt a warm feeling in her heart.
• As expected, the Edwards loved her the most.
• "By the way, Mia, the CEO of the Simpson Group, Fred Simpson, has offered a reward of one million five hundred thousand dollars for your whereabouts. He wants you to teach his autistic son. People outside searching for you have been blowing up my phone. Do you think … "
• "Help me decline it. I've been busy with returning home from overseas recently."
• William didn't understand, "Aren't you usually fond of children? You always say that we shouldn't ignore those children."
• "Fred is Marie's fiancé."
• " … Mia, don't worry. I'll decline it for you. We won't help the people around Marie."
• After hanging up the phone, Mia entered the study and opened the computer to check the files William had sent.
• These were all the things that happened to the Sherwoods after she left Neuss all those years ago.
• The Sherwoods, who were on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly received investment from the Simpson Group, and the business grew bigger and bigger. They even went public recently.
• Marie had become the general manager of the Sherwood Corporation, holding forty percent of the shares. She remembered that these shares were initially gifted to her by her grandfather, but Marie later snatched them away!
• What surprised her even more was Marie getting engaged to Fred tomorrow!
